theYoungerMrsWarde Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 To say I have a brown thumb is an understatement. It's more of a black thumb. I call my line of plants "death row.":tongue_smilie: But I really wanted to try to keep something alive, so last year I got some mint plants because I understood they are hard to kill. They're still alive! But my dh insists that I actually do something with it. I tried putting it in our iced tea, but it didn't add much taste :confused: What else can I do with it? I don't cook anything that uses mint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeacherZee Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Melon and mint salad. Chop up melons (I use two-four different types). Chop up mint. Add melons and mint to bowl. Mix. Serve as dessert, snack or side dish with grilled meat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripe Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Put the mint in when brewing the tea, not afterward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfunnybunch Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Put the mint in when brewing the tea, not afterward. This. Or I put a sprig into our iced tea pitcher and leave it there overnight. I like to pick mint and put it in the kitchen windowsill. I'll pinch it every once in a while and the kitchen smells like mint. Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Florida Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Send it on over to my house, and I will make my son happy by whipping up a big batch of mint chutney. He loves the stuff, but the ingredients are expensive. So, I make it only on special occasions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 A friend made mint pork chops years ago, & it was so good that I've added mint to everything I cook ever since, in the hopes of duplicating the recipe. Which is funny because I never buy pork of any kind at all. I've googled & can't find anything like what she made. :glare: Unfortunately, we both moved away.

stripe Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 It tastes good chopped up in a salad, too. Add parsley, lemon juice, and salt. Yummy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msk Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Mint tastes good with fruit, like peaches or the melon someone else suggested. We like this mango slaw (although we skip the cabbage and serve it over lettuce instead): http://smittenkitchen.com/2010/07/mango-slaw-with-cashews-and-mint/ Also, lettuce wraps (you could substitute ground chicken for the pork, and I usually add rice noodles to make them more substantial and make this the whole meal): http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Thai-Ground-Pork-Salad-with-Mint-and-Cilantro-101785 I usually get rid of overabundant things by using the recipe search on Epicurious.com.
